While i am in favor of drafting a pass first point guard I really am feeling that we are going to take Zhaire Smith if he is there and try to turn him into a point guard (at least defensively). He fits the type of player that McD has drafted or brought in the past. He can cover points defensively and offers a 3pt shot that we are lacking on some other players. I think he ends up book ending the other side of Booker with Josh Jackson.
I am really high on Shamet and like Okobo as well, but yeah, we cannot pass up on Smith if he is there. I don't know if we necessarily play him at PG. He isn't a PG on offense, so we would have to be committing to point Booker at that point, and he still needs to work on speeding up his shooting release though he is decently accurate as a shooter, but he has a ton of upside and a decent floor as well given he will be a great one on one defender from day 1. I
think one of Shamet or Okobo falls to 31 though, and I actually think Shamet should start for us if we get him. He can score from all 3 levels, is the best shooter in this draft aside from maybe Young, and is a heady player on both sides of the ball. He would help our spacing so very much, and his size is a good fit as well.
